The client wanted to update his dated flash portfolio site with something capable of streaming high quality video, on a very tight budget, yet fully manageable by the client.
Approached by an agency needing a WordPress specialist I was asked to develop this site for one of the leading SEO specialists Latitude Group which functioned and conformed to strict rules regarding content structure and presentation.
After previous work with the founder of Clever Diaries, we were approached to produce a commerce site that intergrates with a custom API for Outlook.
The site was aimed at the corporate market and so the design had to reflect this with a no nonsense approach to providing information supported by rich graphics.
Avolus came to me in early 2008 through a reccomendation, requiring someone to take over the management of 2 sites from an errant developer. This continued until late in 2008 when it was realised that the 2 sites desperately needed a visual and structural makeover to ensure the maximum number of conversions for the company.
The main goal for the site is to drive traffic towards making a form based enquiry allowing Avolus to contact the client directly to initiate a transaction.
The secondary goals are to provide a stylish, multilingual online brochure that reflects the image of the company through information, marketing material and also the display of aircrafts for sale through the brokerage side of the site.
Sky required an overhaul for their corporate responsibility portal “JoinTheBiggerPicture” which covers a massive range of Sky public media from Arts to Entertainment to Sports to Environment.
The challenge was to produce a custom CMS that allowed potentially limitless numbers of content editors, content managers and various other hierachial levels to visually interact with the content they were manipulating.
The visual aspects of this CMS are what made it different from off the shelf products, and the requirements for an intuitive interface that required no training to use were key parts of this project.
